Oh, that snow is so compelling. The only interesting weather we got so far was a wicked smoke that stayed through yesterday. It was from a small fire to the south, but was the worst I can remember in a long time, and even worse than much larger fires. I just wrote about it yesterday.

Thank you. Fires are a part of life here. Fire season normally finishes about now when the first light rains starts, but it has not happened yet. The sad part about these fires is that they seem to be a series of arson fires.
